GLOBALSYS, expert in Cordless and Embedded Technologies<br /> <br /> Created in 1997, GLOBALSYS began developing its activity by creating highly innovative solutions for aircraft ground operations.<br /> <br /> Starting in 1999, Globalsys was the first in the world to Establish a wireless vocal communication system, Full Duplex, between an aircraft and ground crew (Ramp operator, mechanics, etc.)<br /> <br /> In actuality, it is extremely common to see ground personnel, whether at commercial airports or on air ba<em></em>ses, use a wire co<em></em>nnection to communicate with aircraft, which is both impractical and even dangerous (for example, when airplanes are struck by lightning, which happens more often than one might think).<br /> <br /> Globalsys co<em></em>ntinued innovating in this field by designing and producing exclusive technology to integrate a short-distance vocal communication solution within the aircraft itself. Our system, covered by several internatio<em></em>nal patents, makes it possible for ground crew members to communicate with an airplane as soon as it arrives, during taxiing (instead of communicating through gestures , also very common at airports and on air ba<em></em>ses).<br /> <br /> Our various innovations co<em></em>nvinced Airbus in 2002 to choose Globalsys for a collaboration a<em></em>bout predevelopment of the future CVIS (Cordless Voice Intercom System), ba<em></em>sed on our exclusive co<em></em>ncepts and patents.<br /> <br /> The aim of CVIS was to provide various wireless communication functions both in flight, throughout the cabin, and on the ground, by creating a communication network co<em></em>nnecting the various members of the ground crew during pre-flight (cargo loading, etc.) and maintenance operations. The IRoCoN project replaced the CVIS project.<br /> <br /> It is still a relatively early stage concept, but the full development is planned for the future A350 and A320NEO, it will also be offered as a retrofittable option on the A380<br /> <br /> Globalsys is highly involved in recently launched innovation projects such as:<br /> <br /> IRoCoN : Development of cordless network Mobile and Terminals for crews, o<em></em>nboard Airbus Aircraft<br /> SAHARA : creation of Cordless Sensor Networks within Aircrafts & Space Vehicles.<br /> Globalsys has never stopped innovating ever since, for example by working with Air France to develop the E-Cart, a secure aircraft co<em></em>ntainer combining both WiFi and RFID technologies. The E-Cart is also protected by a patent and represents a remarkable advance in terms of improving security for both goods and passengers and in terms of industrial processes.<br /> <br /> Technology<br /> <br /> Globalsys integrates the entire spectrum of wireless technologies in developing its projects :<br /> <br /> Bluetooth, WiFi, DECT & WDCT, RFID, WIMAX, GSM, CATiq<br /> <br /> ...and is already working on introducing new technologies like UWB or LTE, etc.<br /> <br /> Besides, Globalsys software solutions are offered in most of the current standards (Microsoft, Linux, etc.) and for most platforms (Microchip, X86, ARM, various DSP platforms, etc.).<br />
